6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
If you have small children, I would worry about them, climbing up the steep stairs for the second floor. Second problem, there is a step down that is not lighted from the first floor to the main bedroom. This could be dangerous, and my wife actually fell on it overall the rental was fine, except for the above.

Great little cabin near lake and downtown

We stayed at Ponderosa for a week and had a wonderful time. The location is very convenient to everything and you can easily walk down to the lake and downtown. The home is well equipped and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Wonderful cabin in idyllic location

This was the second time we stayed at Ponderosa this year. We love the location being able to walk to the lake and downtown Evergreen. The cabin is well appointed and has everything one would need. The best part is sitting out on the deck and watching elk walk by.

This is at least 6 times we have stayed at the Ponderosa and it never disappoints! Love seeing (from a distance) the wildlife…that’s always a treat! Always neat and tidy, clean, and our host is nearby to answer any questions! We have already booked this place this coming fall and will always consider this “our home away from home.”

February One Month Stay

The Ponderosa House was a quiet, comfortable haven to call home for the month. Enjoyed being so close to downtown Evergreen, trail walks and Evergreen Lake. The porch was a treat to warm in the sun or watch the frequent herd of deer in the yard. Our hosts were readily available. So thankful we chose Ponderosa House for our stay.
